Jeremiah 32:9Easy To Read VersionI bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out 17 shekels {\cf2\super [266]} of silver for him. See the chapter |
But the governors that ruled before me made life hard for the people. Those governors forced every person to pay 1 pound {\cf2\super [17]} of silver. They also made those people give them food and wine. The leaders under those governors also ruled over the people \{and made life even harder\}. But I respected and feared God, so I didn’t do things like that.
